Royston as we know is an ancient settlement. It is 7,500 years old. 10,000 years ago it was too cold for man to survive, but then the ice started to melt. Small pockets of communities began to develop, maybe survivors from a different age or possibly a different continent. With the earthworks showing testament, Royston was one of these places.

These people had a belief; and this belief is what the Druid priests practised. Those beliefs didn’t really change over time, they just became less rigid as the population became more civilised. They believed in the rebirth, the underworld, you did not die; you became a spirit, a part of the mother earth, a part of creation.

These ancient people had rituals; and these rituals have legends and myths attached to them. The ceremonies themselves hold keys to that ancient civilisation, mentioned in the Book of Kings.

I believe, and many others agree, that civilisation began in the Southern Hemisphere. The Aborigines, in their dream time, talked of the Three Monkeys and the Three Degrees. They talk of two God’s, The God of Vegetation, i.e. food; and The God of Destruction, i.e. fire.

It is a spark of this civilisation that settled at Royston, and in other parts of the British Isles.

It was only when Christianity was introduced, that the basic beliefs began to change; even then, this took many centuries of gradual conversion. The pagan ceremonies were held in particular sacred places.

In the British Isles, the biggest fertility rites were held at Avebury. Stonehenge had a ritual; and this was for the time of planting crops and of harvesting. The ancient civilisations also had a sacred burial ground for the Kings, but this particular place has yet to be been found.

There was a ceremonial place of birth, and a ceremonial place of rebirth. These two places would have to be opposite one another, one to the left and one to the right. One has to be above the ground, the other must be below.

I believe the Knights Templar knew of these ancient beliefs and practices.

They made their way around the country by using the ancient energy lines, which is exactly how the druids found their way around; it was like a grid over England. With this information, they managed to rob the ancient tombs for their Gold and Silver, and whilst doing so, they were putting a stop to the Druid practices, by building churches on their sacred mounds.
